  1. A stitch in time saves nine.
    The man on the fence is a good hurler.
    Sense bought is better than sense taught.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    It is never too late to mend.
    Work begun is half done.
    A wise man carries his coat on a wet day.
    A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush.
    Tis too lock the stable when the steed is stolen.
    Empty vessels make most noise.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Suspicion haunts the guilty mind.
